Sushi Train, Gold Coast, Australia





When my sister recommended the Sushi Train on my recent visit to the Gold Coast I wasn't so sure what to expect. Having worked in Asia for so many years often means that attempts at Asian food in Australia have a hard time living up to my expectations. Of course I trust my sister, but her opinion was further confirmed when we arrived to Sushi Train for a mid-week bite and there was a line up not only to dine in but for takeaway too. This place is located in an industrial estate, not a pedestrian mall or walking street - people actually come out of their way to get here.  I humbly took our number and waited for a spot to open up.  Fortunately a space was made available for us within 10 minutes.  As you can imagine plates of sushi and other dishes such as edamame whirl around the train in front of you.  Serves start at $3.50 and top at $8.00 - you can tell how much each costs by the colour of the plate.  We never had to wait for anything and the conveyer belt was constantly topped up by the skilled sushi chefs who were making it all right in front of us.  You can also request something special from the menu and the chefs will be happy to oblige. All in all I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness and quality of our meal.
